Crude oil and gasoline prices today are sharply higher on concern that the conflict in the Middle East could widen after Israel conducted a strike in Qatar targeting Hamas leaders. Also, Ukraine said it has stepped up attacks on Russian refineries and oil infrastructure, which is reducing Russian crude production capabilities. Dollar strength today is limiting the upside in crude prices.
